Installation

Water inlet

The dishwasher is equipped with safety features which are to prevent the water from going back to the fresh water system. These features are ac- cording to current water technical safety regulations.

The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed into a separate cold water supply.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. Where the water is supplied from a cold water cistern you can work out the pressure yourself by measuring the vertical distance (or ‘Head’) between the dishwasher’s inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water storage cistern; allowing .86 psi for every 2 feet under normal conditions.

We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or stop- cock in the water supply pipe close to the dishwasher and accessible for easy use. This should be turned off when the appliance is not in use. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread.

The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of exten- sion hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be repla- ced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut.

Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position.

Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dish- washer. Do not reuse an inlet hose used with a previous machine.

Water drainage

To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system. In the event of a fault the drain-pump starts automatically and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is pumped out.

The water safety system also works when the dishwasher is switched off. However the dish- washer must be connected electrically.

The discharge hose must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired. The hose should always be routed at the level which the dishwasher is standing on, rising up only where it meets the waste pipe.

It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point.
